Dear Anjali I can understand your concern
insomnia is a common complaint in ealderly and uncontrolled diabetes
you did not mentioned any thing about your age and diabetes control
there are many medications available which can induce sleep and also maintain sleep but most of them are having addiction profile
so I suggest you to check your diabetes control and try doing yoga and meditation daily which are having good potential to smoother your sleep cycle
